I am known for my combination of academic rigor and creativity. I love developing kinesthetic, "hands-on" lessons. For example, I'm currently teaching "Vocabulary and Spelling" on Saturdays at GCC. I taught students how to create their own "3-D movies". Then, they wrote "scripts" for the characters they created, using their vocabulary words. They had fun AND learned how to use their words in context. I have been teaching CSET English Test Prep for more than six years.

I believe in the individualized instruction of students, especially those that are struggling, because each student has their own way of learning. I like to get to know my students a bit, because sometimes the best way to get through to that student is to find a way to relate the subject material to their personal interests. I will work to help your student to perform as successfully as they are able, and to help them live up to their full potential. I have a great deal of experience working with students from many different ethnicities and cultures, and recognize no boundaries or limits with regard to such issues.

I believe that with proper classroom management and an interesting delivery of lessons, every student has the potential to learn and achieve academic success. I use a number of methods to introduce the concepts to my students, including hands-on activities, use of manipulatives, computer generated presentations, role-playing, textbooks, video, etc. I feel that if I can find the proper modality along with allowing a student to explore on his own, then a student can achieve success in learning. My goal is to build a safe and stimulating learning environment, and to try to make learning interesting and fun during the challenging middle school years.
